Hi,
I have the TSC10HB and am extremely pleased with it. I added an incra se 1000 mitre guage (about 220) off ebay and it is great. The accurracy, repeatability and ease of set up is great. I bought...

Hi Neil

HI Dazzler
I used some aluminium like that 50*50*3mm for my router fence. I faced it with hardwood and then added the sliding fences via the t track. I got my aluminium from capral in Grove road and...

I have the Metabo and have to say it is excellent. Beautifully balanced and a pleasure to use on either orbit. That said I havent used the Rotex but have lusted after one. I settled on the metabo on...

Hi all,

Have just acquired a new (old) jointer. Its a Chui Ting wjt 150. It is in pretty good overall condition but I need some advice on what to clean the bed and fence as it has some rust and...

Congrats on the new arrival Les. My saw from CT was similar to yours with it being well set up except for the blade alignment. Quick work with a dial indicator and a 13 mm spanner had everything...

I was considering the cheaper inverter welders from ebay. I have used a mates and it did seem easier to weld with to my limited experience. What seemed to make the biggest difference...

Hi all,
Any Hobart locals have a TSC-10HB. If so where or who did you get it from?
I just rang carbatec in Victoria who tell me they have them in stock but delivery is over $300.00. Does that sound...

Thanks harry,
Now we are getting somewhere. At $1540 delivered from Timbecon $1600 locally is probably a good bet. Now the next question is Whose got one and what do they think of them. At that...

I have been looking at getting a new cabinet table saw, possibly like the TSC-10hb but living in Hobart it is hard to see these in the flesh. Everything has to be ordered in. Whilst I was...

Hi All,
Looking at buying a BAS-350 clone from a local supplier. Its priced at $600 so I suppose that i reasonable. I have searched the forums for all opinions on this bandsaw and there are good and...

Thanks stephen,
Finally got one locally but it cost $20.00. After much cutting, shaping, heating and a fair bit of fibreglass to gover the gaps it seems to work ok. I gave up on the box underneath...

Thanks Peter and Stephen,

I have just checked with two major plumbing suppliers here in hobart who tell me that particular part is unavailable but I mthat was on the phone so I will visit with the...

I have just taken the plunge and bought a carbatec clone 2 hp dust collector from a local supplier. I am very pleased with the low noise and great sucking capacity. The next step is to attach it to...

Anybody using the ryobi belt disk sander? I have a good opportunity to get one in the old "bunnings match less15%" battle against our local mitre 10. Brings the price to about $150.
The question is...

Hi All
A friend wants some 3mm teak veneer glued onto a piece of structural ply. The dimensions are only 1090 x 500 so it is quite small. The question is whats the best glue to attach it...

Thanks for that Noodle
I'll take my catalogue and go and have a look.
Cheers
Jock

Thanks Les
I have the (Shudder Shudder) Carbetec ctj 340 12 1/2 inch. I just put about 12 metres of 135*35 old oak through and was amazed by the amount of shavings.

Would the fm230 work ok with...

Having just used my thicknesser for the first time in earnest I find I need a dust collector as well as my cyclone/vac combo. Our local joinery shop has the FM 230 at the moment. There isn't a great...

I had a look at the ozito model in the local bunnings. It wasn't set up and it was difficult to get the extensions out. Can anyone tell e the overall width between the extensions. It seems to be...

Hi Andrew,

The saw wasn't on special- it was $329.00 same as bunnings but yesterday and today K&D had 15% of plus there other discounts at differing price levels. The price from K&D would have...

Just a headsup for anyone after some gear and who have a Mitre 10 and a Bunnings nearby. Mitre 10 are having a sliding % sale off all stock. Bunnings matched Mitre 10s price with the discount and...

Thanks Tankstand, thats quicker service than Triton. After looking at the picture the one I saw was definitely a "stiffy" Is this the one time when you don't really want one???
cheers
Jock
PS....

I've just started looking for a respirator locally but the only sellers are Bunnings and K&D (Mitre 10). Neither carry a huge stock . I opened the only respitator at K&D and it had a very stiff hose...

Yes - The switch is offon the router and the plastic cover is in place

The upgraded router plate arrived today. (4 working days and $15.15 all up direct from Triton)
I have just fitted the router and noticed a couple of things.
Firstly the router wont come all the way...

Apparently the plate comes with all the necessary and then the new router is attached using the push out bolts on the router base. I think total cost of the plate wwas only $10.00 something plus 4.40...

Just ordered an upgraded triton Router subplate to suit my new triton router. A very painless process. Postage to hobart was very reasonable. All in all much quicker and easier than trying to explain...

Thanks for the replies guys. I have the same plate as Bazza with the two u shaped plates and clamps which work on a cam principle. I can't seem to find a picture of the mk 2 plate on the triton site....

I have just brought a new triton router to replace my makita in the triton router table. I have the RTA 300 table but am a bit confused as to whether I have the latest version of the router clamp...

I'm in Hobart and have seen an add for the woodworking show at the DEC next Saturday. That might be a good option. Carbetec and other mainland sellers have their good prices eroded by freight costs....

Hi everyone,
I'm in the market for a floor standing drill press. it would be used only infrequently for drilling tasks and those round spindle mounted drum sanders. There is not a huge range in...

It is CIG's smallest arc welder (called the compact model) You alter the amps by turning a dial on the front and referring to a sliding scale on the top. I was just...

I couldn't resist purchasing a near new CIG Compact Welder from Cash Converters the other day. I don't weld but it was a good buy and you can never have too many tools but.... when I tried it at home...

On my second gmc after only about 10 minutes. It too had the wobbily chuck but i wasn't too concerned as I plan to use it for rough timber drilling only. The biggest problem was that the gearbox had...

Currently our local mitre 10 has the R400 router trimmer on sale for 29.95. I already have a makita in the router table and also one of the fixed base gmc routers (which I am very happy with).
I was...
